Oboro Overview

Vanishing into mystic smoke, this ninja thrives on confusion – striking when her enemies least expect it. During the Demonspawn invasion of Yakai, Mikage commanded Oboro to do what she does best… eliminate them all! Now, she wears the masks of her fallen enemies on her hat as a warning to any who dare cross her path. Oboro is an Epic champion from the Shadowkin faction.

Oboro was introduced to Raid: Shadow Legends in Patch 3.40 as one of the original Shadowkin champions, and she has stood the test of time as a strong Epic, especially in encounters like Hydra. Her strength shines when paired with ally debuffers, as her single-target A1 transforms into an AoE attack that places Decrease Defence when the target is under four or more debuffs. This makes her a valuable Epic for boosting your team’s damage output, while also providing consistent damage over time – even in late-game Hydra teams.

One of the best champions to pair with Oboro is Lady Mikage, whose Shadowkin synergy enables more team up attacks through her A1. This allows Oboro to trigger her A1 more frequently, increasing both her damage output and utility. The constant use of her A1 also opens opportunities to run her in sets like Cursed or Provoke – ideal for controlling the Head of Decay or boosting overall damage.

Oboro also has an A2 that can transfer debuffs from herself to a target while stealing all of their buffs, making it a strong option for removing effects from Hydra heads. She also buffs herself with Increase Crit Rate and Crit Damage, and places a Perfect Veil for added protection – preventing control from the Head of Torment, making it easier to hit crit cap, and enabling her passive to place Revive on Death for self survivability. Overall, she’s a strong Epic champion primarily for Hydra, but also useful in areas like The Cursed City, Faction Wars, or even against Amius to remove converted buffs.
